Default Film stars offscreen interests

we all have our favourite stars and know the films and tv shows theyre famous for ,what surprising interests do they have offscreen ? will hay was a respected astronomer and discovered various features on the face of the planet saturn ! really !, thats not a wonky wikipedia fact neither ,george formby invented his famous grill cooking machine ,that probably is a wonky wikipedia fact ,but seriously your favourite film stars must have a surprising hobby or lifestyle away from the screen ,i know that theres some premier league rock n rollers who like nothing better than hornby train sets for example ! aaah ,an extremely controversial business man whose had whole world in actions and other documentarys devoted to his dodgy business deals and" forthright "views on the world ....stamp collecting !

You tried to blame it on Wikipedia but even they won't allow misunderstandings like that apart from where they're to comic effect as part of Peter Kay's act.

If you actually wrote in sentences then people might be able to understand what you mean
The purpose of writing is to communicate meaning.

Absolutely true fact - Terence Stamp is a big fan of girls' school stories, something discussed in his autobiography and happily repeated in interviews if the questioner has bothered to do any research.

oh the most boring actors every in interviews have to be , Harrison Ford, thought he was gonna nod off, and the very dull Robert Redford, ... what am I on about, meant to say, Doris Day has the Animal League, where she does loads of work for mostly cats and dogs having them neutered, and contrary to what people say shes not a recluse. morning all.
